Un alojamiento encantador
Pros:

La ubicación es genial, aunque hay que andar un poquito al centro, está bien comunicado por transporte público. Está junto al museo naval en un lugar precioso, íntimo y acogedor. Con unas mágicas vistas. El personal encantador, aunque no hablaban español se esforzaron mucho en atendernos bien y nos hicieron la estancia muy agradable. Sin duda, volveremos a alojarnos aquí.

Cons:

Me ha gustado todo, no le pongo ni un pero.

Un albergo molto pulito, con una vista sul porto molto suggestiva, soprattutto al tramonto.
Pros:

L'albergo è affacciato su un parco e il porto con una vista meravigliosa, soprattutto al tramonto. Si può arrivare comodamente dalla stazione centrale con il bus 42 e poi con 3/5 minuti a piedi. Ho apprezzato moltissimo non trovare la moquette in bagno.

Cons:

La colazione è molto costosa per gli standard italiani (parliamo anche di 25€ una colazione con due succhi d'arancia, della frutta con yogurt, un caffè e una brioche), soprattutto per la tipologia di cibi serviti, che erano quasi esclusivamente cornetti pieni di burro, uova strapazzate e/o bollite. Avere qualche scelta più internazionale come anche solo del pane tostato con della marmellata, della frutta di stagione (molte volte ho trovato l'anguria e il melone, a marzo!) oppure anche dello yogurt magro con dei cereali, al posto di una terrina piena di yogurt molto grasso e pesante, difficile da finire, mi sarebbe piaciuto. Assenza quasi totale di verdura a cena: ok le patatine fritte ma non si vive senza verdura e nemmeno solo di insalata. Il letto è risultato particolarmente scomodo perchè è molto molle.

Un luogo del cuore ad Amsterdam
Pros:

Pension Homeland si è rivelato uno dei punti di forza del nostro viaggio ad Amsterdam. È un luogo accogliente, ricco di storia e personalità. Il personale è squisito, si mangia veramente bene (consiglio di non prenotare la colazione, poichè à là carte potrete provare ogni giorno una loro delizia differente che non è presente nella colazione, come la torta di mele con panna, i pancake o le uova strapazzate con avocado e feta) è possibile gustare le birre locali. La gatta Amy, padrona di casa, è sempre in giro. Le stanze sono confortevoli e si affacciano sul fiume, così come tutta la zona ristoro che consente di godere dei magnifici tramonti dalle grandi vetrate.

Cons:

Per raggiungere la prima fermata del tram utile per raggiungere la stazione centrale o piazza Dam occorre fare 500 metri a piedi. Non è tantissimo, ma ciò rende meno fluido andare e venire più volte al giorno. Problema risolvibile noleggiando la bici.

Muy bien
Pros:

El trato del personal fue bueno. A pesar de que en el hotel había mucha gente, no se sentía el ruido en la habitación, por lo cual pudimos descansar tranquilos.

Cons:

Los 3 días que dormimos en el hotel hubo mucho viento y las ventanas vibraban junto con la puerta. De a ratos pasábamos un poco de frío durante la noche.

Pros:

Tämä hotelli oli oikea elämys. Hienosti yhdistetty uusi ja vanha pilaamatta talon autenttisuutta. Kaikki toimi. Alakerran ravintolassa kiva tunnelma. Hotelli sijaitsee kauniissa puistossa kanaalien ympäröimänä. Kävelymatka keskustaan ja nähtävyyksiin.

Pros:

Prachtige omgeving, midden in de stad, in het groen

Cons:

Jammer dat we in de ochtend koffie moesten halen in een koffiecorner. Beter en fijner als dat op je kamer staat
